If you were to approach the idea from a scientic viewpoint then that would most certain be a part of the case. I'm, of course, not saying that being in a place you would otherwise feel safe (a police station with cops who found you lost and are calling your parents and reassuring you its ok, for example) because you've been taught that these are good places, or its engrained in your psyche that these are good, safe places, that it means anything other than that.
On the purely human level of emotion, what you're saying is only true, fair, and common sense. The topic is about the paranormal, that is, things that are not normal and cannot readily be defined by human thinking, logic, or reasoning. Specifically, we're talking about things that do transpire, not things we presume to. In this way, things are no less valid as paranormally real because there is a preexisting hypothesis scientifically. Experiencing something paranormal is a hyothesis in itself, as the brain trys to rationalize what just happened, or how its possible. Some things will never be answered by science, nor will we comprehend them, and thats part of the intrique of seeking the answers by a variety of means.
Valerie said in her post that she is interested in the research behind this activity which can shed some light on it, scientifically. I agree with that line of inquiry, as it admits there are unknown mysteries, but the pursuit of the key that unlocks those mysteries, is just as well served by scientific review than it is any other method.
